The Worldwide Candle Lighting

On Sunday at 7 p.m. (to 8p.m.), the Compassionate Friends --http://tinyurl.com/7abqn-- (support group for those parents/families who've lost a child/sibling) held the 9th annual Worldwide Candle Lighting. There are formal gatherings around the country/world, but we just lit them at home this year. I lit one for Jake, Jennifer and Christine. I thought I'd sit there and cry all hour, but I'd just done that for 45 minutes on the phone with my sister Linda. My sister Teresa sat for the hour with a candle, Christine's picture and soothing music. Janice lit one as well and found it hard to blow it out. We kept ours lit until bed time. Thank you all for taking part and remembering.
Stayed home from work today.
